Lowie + Incredibusy Mending Loom Workshop | Weds 12th June

£60.00
Type

Join us for an evening repair workshop at the Lowie shop, Herne Hill London, Wednesday 12th June. In just two hours, you will learn to repair a hole in your clothes, using an incredibusy salvaged speed loom. This is a handcrafted tool designed to simplify the process of darning and repairing small snags in fabric.

We have two ticket options available for this workshop.  £120 includes your ticket cost and your own loom to take home (saving £20 on the loom) or £60 for just the class.

You will come away with a knowledge of basic loom repair stitches, and the chance to give your favourite garments a longer, well loved life.

Lowie Shop - Wednesday 12th June 2024 - 6:30-8:30pm

Your speed loom kit comprises: 

  • organic cotton ‘task bag’ to keep your loom safe
  • metalwork loom with 12 hooks, using reclaimed stainless steel, and repurposed bicycle spokes provided by a Tooting bicycle project
  • hand-turned darning disc, made with beech offcuts, hand finished in Berkshire
  • rubber bands x 2
  • darning needles x 2
  • and a quantity of British mulesing-free wool, enough to repair your first hole
  • and you will receive access to a password-only PDF to refer to post-workshop

There are just ten places available for this intimate workshop, so book your place now…

Extend the life of a favourite sweater or your denim jeans. Great fun too if you fancy experimenting with the creative weaving process in miniature!

Tickets can be refunded up until 29th May 2024.
